2016 Trophée de France Mens FS

[Lambari]

I'm inclined to think that Nathan is the best quad jumper of the new generation. Never mind the 4S and 4T here. He needs to work on his spins and overall programs though, even if h I don't mind his SP that much compared to the FP. I still love you Boyang and your poor GP was a fluke.

 

[Florencito]

Fall on 4T too :hopelessness:

Prince igor music, now i get the costume...

 

[Plisskin]

Too much skating around to do quads in Nathan's LP.

 

[HanDomi]

this is messy

 

[Biellmann]

Has Rippon a chance for the podium? :think:

 

[eta]

Program seems very empty.

 

[Florencito]

This reminds me of Adelina's fs in that gpf where she landed the harder combos and bombed everything else...

 

[machin]

Not much besides crossover and quads here. A bit boring despite the jumps.

 

[ancientpeas]

Without the jumps... it kind of loses impact.

 

[Lota]

Bombing all over the place :con3:

 

[Plisskin]

Improved costume in Nathan's LP but...there is no program like the SP.

 

[Warwick360]

I like the costume, nut is it just me who doesn't think the music matches the costume? :scratch3:

 

[sallycinnamon]

Has Rippon a chance for the podium? :think:

Yes, absolutely, but it depends on Chen's score and Denis Ten's performance, too.

 

[matcha]

Nathan is so ambitious. It could be his downfall.

 

[Tolstoj]

goe... everything adam did had good quality. air time, position, extension and flow.

He has good jumps, not exceptional in my opinion: the position in the air isn't completely straight (i don't know how to explain this), elevation is just fine, and some of those jumps were a little telegraphed. (his lutz with two hands is gorgeous, definitely his biggest jump, but you can see really coming from a mile)

Considering he did the 3-3 in the first half, and it's a Flip-toe (not a lutz-toe) and the bv of this program isn't so high, i don't know those GOEs

 

[OS]

nice come back... enjoyable last 1/3rd choreography... no set up quads distraction... the kid can perform!!!

 

[s_parks]

Sp is def stronger. He should do less number of quads and repeat his 4F. then he'll have more time to actually skate, since he clearly can.
Have to agree with b.esp. here.

 

[ancientpeas]

His PCS should be interesting. Nathan has enormous potential but he's not the complete package yet. Few are at his age.
